McDougal Pleads Guilty In Coworker Murder Case
McDougal pleaded guilty Tuesday to murder in the death of his former girlfriend Melanie Cadena. He did not testify at the hearing and was sentenced to life in prison by Judge Lewis. Cadena’s father delivered a victim impact statement calling for a long sentence and highlighting the family’s pain. Destiny, the couple’s seven month old daughter, was mentioned as Cadena’s bye. The trial referenced a negative toxicology result and the apparent lack of a drug or alcohol influence. Cadra urged the jury to see the act as murder not a crime of passion, noting disproved claims and stomping allegations. Defense argued the killing stemmed from rejection and immaturity, requesting leniency. McDougal will serve time in jail before transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with potential parole after 30 years consideration.
